8-time Mr. O Lee Haney Chest Workout

He had his own era. From 1984 to 1991, Lee Haney won a record eight consecutive Mr. Olympia’s before retiring from the stage at only 31. At 5’11 and 240, he was a transitional figure, ushering bodybuilding from the “lightweight era” of under-200 Mr. O’s just before him to the modern era of mass monsters that followed just after.

His torso muscles (back, chest, delts, traps) were his strength, so we got the Totally Awesome one to speak about the chest workouttraining that spawned the Haney Era.
